Escaping The Labyrinth

by mike-essig

"Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky." WHA Easy to escape what you hate; difficult to find what you love. Handsomely equipped to fail, we sail out into the world. Disillusion follows disillusion until disillusion becomes disillusion, it's own gray Shade of life. The old know they have failed. They young suspect they will. Take wing against the dead. Craft waxen wings. Seek the sun. Soar against all despair. Better to tumble than not to try, to fall far and furiously alive. Try to breach that pure, Attic sky where light and hope may reside, once before you wither and die.
